BOTHERSOME EYE - HELP!!!!?!
Question: BOTHERSOME EYE - HELP!!!!?
My eye was really red yesterday. I just assumed it was because I was tired. So I went to bed and some of the redness is gone but some is still there. And now it is really irritating to where I have to keep wiping it. I know it isn't pink eye, but could it be infected or is it just allergies or what do you think?

Answers:
Does it itch? Which eye is it? If it itches, and affects both eyes, then it is possibly allergic conjunctivitis
Does your eye hurt? Did you wake up and notice that your eye was full of gunky stuff? Is it just one eye? That might mean a bacterial conjunctivitis, requiring antibiotics.
Otherwise you might just have a viral conjunctivitis, for which you can just administer artificial tears for comfort.
